Per multiple sources, sea level +3', same as the lake.

So, if the city is 15' lower than the lake, then water in the city is in places 18' deep?"

The math is correct but my maps don't show many places that deep in the downtown area.

Counts what you mean by downtown. Part of the CBD is in a hole. The Quarter is high. New Orleans East is all a hole. City Park area is high. Part of the the north city is in a hole, and part is fine. At Franklin and Broad, a lot of the houses are very very built up, and the street would be flooded, but the houses might be mostly dry.
